  The Thirty-First Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-17) was held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square in San Francisco, California, USA from February 4–9, 2017. The proceedings volumes were published by AAAI Press.

  Over the last few years we have seen a resurgence of interest in AI technologies from industry as well as an increase in interest in AI research from undergraduate and graduate students and faculty from around the world. As specialized conferences in machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision, thrive and grow, it is especially pleasing to note that AAAI, a venue that attracts papers from across the breadth of AI, is also thriving and growing. We believe there is tremendous value to bringing together the diverse communities with shared long-term goals, facilitating collaboration and transfer of ideas, as well as welcoming strong papers that cross subarea boundaries and may thus fall through the cracks. We trust AAAI will continue to provide such a venue

  The AAAI-17 program featured a comprehensive slate of tutorials, workshops, the satellite IAAI conference and the EAAI symposium, demos, videos, exhibits, invited talks and panels, student abstracts, and special presentations by senior members and representatives from affiliated communities. These activities were organized around a core of technical sessions comprising presentations of original research contributions. The conference cochairs were Satinder Singh (University of Michigan, USA) and Shaul Markovitch (Technion, Israel).

  The proceedings consists primarily of papers that describe original research contributions vetted by rigorous review. A total of 2,571 well-formed papers were submitted to the technical program — an all-time record for AAAI. Of these, 2,432 were directed by authors to the main track, and the remainder to one of three special tracks: Cognitive Systems, Computational Sustainability, and Integrated AI Capabilities.

  Also included in this proceedings are the papers of the Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference (IAAI), which emphasizes the relevance of AI in our everyday lives. The IAAI-17 chair was James Crawford (Orbital Insight, USA). The conference was cochaired by G. Michael Youngblood (PARC, a Xerox Company, USA).

  The Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence (EAAI-17) seeks to advance the AAAI goal of improving the teaching and training of AI practitioners. This year, the symposium was cochaired by Eric Eaton (University of Pennsylvania, USA) and Sven Koenig (University of Southern California, USA).

  The Twenty-Ninth Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence (IAAI-17) was held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square in San Francisco, California, USA from February 4–9, 2017. The proceedings volumes were published by AAAI Press.

  The Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference (IAAI) emphasizes the relevance of AI in our everyday lives. The IAAI-17 chair was James Crawford (Orbital Insight, USA). The conference was cochaired by G. Michael Youngblood (PARC, a Xerox Company, USA). IAAI was colocated with AAAI and their paper presentations and invited talks were coordinated. This enabled conference attendees to seamlessly move between conferences fostering interest in applied AI research while keeping track of the latest results of AI research.

  IAAI-17 presents papers in three tracks: deployed applications, emerging applications, and challenge problems. The deployed applications track focuses on fielded AI applications that distinguish themselves for their innovative use of AI technology. For the year 2017 we have two papers in this track: one paper on using AI for online recruiting, a topic of importance of all growing companies, and one on the successful use of AI to search for new physical materials with novel and interesting properties. The emerging applications track focuses on areas in which AI technology can have a practical impact. For the year 2017 we have 17 papers in this track, a significant increase for IAAI-17, covering a broad range of topics such as analyzing social media to detect airport threats, nudging people to attend cancer screening, crowdsensing air quality with cameras in mobile devices, and much more.

  The Twenty-Fourth Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference was held in conjunction with the the Twenty-Sixth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and, its papers  were published as part of these proceedings. IAAI consisted of case studies of deployed applications with measurable benefits whose value depends on the use of AI technology, as well as emerging applications, which discuss efforts to apply AI tools, techniques, or methods to real world problems. Through the IAAI papers in this proceedings, AI researchers can learn about challenges of real-world domains, the utility of particular AI techniques for specific applications, and the difficulties, successes, and lessons learned in deploying AI applications. Markus Fromherz (ACS, a Xerox Company, USA) served as IAAI-12 conference chair. Hector Munoz-Avila (Lehigh University, USA) served as IAAI-12 conference cochair.

  The IAAI conference is sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence.

  The Twenty-Fifth Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-11) was held in San Francisco, California at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco, from August 7–11, 2011, USA. The proceedings volumes were published by AAAI Press.

  The AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence — AAAI's summer conference — has promoted theoretical and applied AI research as well as intellectual interchange among researchers and practitioners. The technical papers presented at the twenty-fifth meeting of this conference feature substantial, original research and practices, with special emphasis on constraints, satisfiability, and search; knowledge-based information systems; knowledge representation and reasoning; machine learning; multiagent systems; multidisciplinary topics; natural language processing; reasoning about plans, processes, and actions; reasoning under uncertainty; and robotics. Special tracks include artificial intelligence and the web; computational sustainability and artificial intelligence; integrated intelligence; and physically grounded artificial intelligence. The conference also includes new scientific and technical advances in research (Nectar) papers, doctoral consortium abstracts, robotics program papers, and student abstracts. The conference program chairs were Wolfram Burgard (University of Freiburg, Germany), and Dan Roth (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA. The AAAI Conference Committee Chair was Dieter Fox (University of Washington, USA)

  This proceedings also includes the papers presented at the Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference. The IAAI-11 conference chair was Daniel Shapiro (Institute for the Study of Learning and Expertise, USA). The IAAI-11 conference cochair was Markus Fromherz (ACS, a Xerox Company, USA).

  The IAAI conference traditionally consists of case studies of deployed applications with measurable benefits whose value depends on the use of AI technology, as well as emerging applications, which discuss efforts to apply AI tools, techniques, or methods to real world problems. Through the IAAI papers in this proceedings, AI researchers can learn about challenges of real-world domains, the utility of particular AI techniques for specific applications, and the dif- ficulties, successes, and lessons learned in deploying AI applications.

  For the second year in a row, the Symposium on Educational Advances in Artificial Intelligence was be held in conjunction with AAAI-11 and included in these proceedings. The symposium chair was Marie desJardins (University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA). EAAI-11 provides a venue for researchers and educators to discuss pedagogical issues and share resources related to teaching AI and using AI in education.
